2015 YEAR IN REVIEW
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY In 2015, the Caterpillar Foundation supported Habitat for Humanity
through grants across nine communities in the United States (Tucson, Arizona; Hartford, Connecticut; Miami, Florida; Peoria,
Illinois; Franklin, Indiana; Raleigh, North Carolina; Houston, Texas; Victoria, Texas; and Menominee, Wisconsin) and in Thailand.
In addition, in a separate project, Caterpillar employees at the Morton, Illinois, facility sponsored a Habitat for Humanity
house for a deserving family in the local community. Approximately 500 employees across the facility volunteered their
time and talents over a 10-week period to build the house. Together.Stronger.™
OPPORTUNITY INTERNATIONAL Opportunity International provides microfinancing
and education to help lift people out of poverty by giving disadvantaged populations a working chance. In support of
their work, last year we invested in agricultural programs in Ghana, Rwanda and Uganda, and educational programs
in Colombia, Ghana and Uganda. The agricultural programs provide banking services, financial education and training,
and agricultural inputs to smallholder African farmers to help put them on a level playing field with larger farmers.
The education programs are focused on providing loans and training to expand and improve schools, and ultimately,
improve access to high-quality education. Together.Stronger.™
